How Did UAlbany Football Do On The Road At West Virginia?

I thought the UAlbany football team played a great game on the road in Morgantown West Virginia on Saturday night.  Quarterback Myles Burkett really impressed as he threw some incredible throws in tight coverage against a very good FBS opponent who has a tough defense.  The Great Danes had a chance to cut the deficit to seven points, but The Mountaineers defense had a goal line stand and then the game essentially ended from there.  Below is my quick take on this as seen in The Times Union:

UAlbany head football coach Greg Gattuso confirmed Saturday what he already knew and that is quarterback Myles Burkett is going to have a great season. Burkett torched the West Virginia secondary for over 300 yards and a touchdown despite a 49-17 loss in Morgantown. On a day when the Great Danes struggled to run the ball Burkett showcased his talents on the road against an FBS program. The sophomore quarterback from Wisconsin needs to bottle Saturday's performance and if he does UAlbany is going to win a lot of games this season.

Next up for UAlbany are the Idaho Vandals who are a very good team who is off to a good start.  They upset Wyoming on the road and played UAlbany nine months ago in the FCS quarterfinals.  UAlbany won the game but Idaho certainly has not forgot that.  It will be a tall task for the Great Danes but head coach Greg Gattuso will have them prepared and ready to get a big win on the road on Saturday evening.
